Example sentences for: blastn

How can you use “blastn” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • Our sequence determination was continuously refined with the results of repeated BlastN and tBlastN database searches with the updated contigs, and finally we extended our search by using genomic databases.

  • BLAST (blastn) e-values were 6 × 10 -13or less for each ORF fragment detected, which corresponded to sequence similarity of 80% or greater.

  • Sequence retrieval was initiated via BLASTN searches (default parameters- [ 37 ] ) against the BDGP http://www.fruitfly.organd GenBank http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.govdatabases using LTRs from previously identified Drosophila retroelements as queries [ 15 ] . Results with E-values < e -10were annotated on the corresponding clone, whereupon visual inspection of several annotations confirmed the presence of retroelements proximal to known genes.

  • Direct nucleotide sequence comparisons (BLASTN) were used for each search as this provides a more stringent test of homology between tomato and Arabidopsis sequences than do the conceptual translations of DNA sequences (TBLASTX) that can be used for less stringent comparisons between evolutionarily divergent species [ 12].

  • As an alternative method of determining which M. incognita genes may have an SL1 splice leader, contigs were compared by BLASTN to our recently sequenced ESTs from a M. arenaria egg library produced by PCR with an SL1 primer sequence.
